Sell with SpaceMatch
Your home, positioned like an asset — and sold like one.
Every SpaceMatch listing launches with the same standard: pricing built from data, magazine-grade media, paid buyer targeting and a 23,000+ buyer network that sees it before Zillow does.
The SpaceMatch Listing Standard
Included on every listing. No tiers, no add-ons.
The checklist is the same for a $250,000 condo and a $2.5 million mixed-use building, because buyers judge both in the first eight seconds on their screen.
Magazine-grade photography
Professional stills edited for print and screen. Twilight exteriors when the property earns them.
Listing video & Reels
Short-form video cut for Instagram, YouTube and the MLS — the format buyers actually watch.
360° walkthrough & floor plans
Out-of-state and investor buyers write offers from these. Every listing gets them.
Digital staging & renovation preview
Vacant or dated rooms furnished and refreshed digitally through our Stagifi studio — no movers, no rental furniture.
Paid buyer targeting
Budgeted ad campaigns aimed at the buyer profile for your home — not a generic "boost".
Off-market first
Private exposure to our 23,000+ buyer and investor network before — or instead of — the public MLS.
This is our baseline, not an upgrade. If a brokerage sells you these items as a package, you are paying for what should already be included.
How it works
Six steps, one accountable team.
From the first conversation to the closing table, you'll always know what happens next and who owns it.
Before you list
The seller readiness checklist.
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Declutter & deep clean | Photography and 360° capture show everything. Empty surfaces read as space. |
| Minor repairs | Small defects become inspection credits at 3–5× their repair cost. |
| Renovation review | We estimate return before you spend a dollar. |
| Rent roll & leases | Required for 2–4 units and mixed-use; investors underwrite from these. |
| Survey, title, HOA docs | Ready documents shorten attorney review and prevent closing delays. |
| Off-market decision | Private, pre-market or full MLS — chosen for the asset, not by default. |
What selling costs in Chicago
Know your net before you list.
Illinois sellers typically pay the state and county transfer taxes, their attorney, title and payoff costs, and prorated property taxes. Chicago adds a city transfer tax that is split between buyer and seller.
| State transfer tax | $0.50 / $500 |
| Cook County transfer tax | $0.25 / $500 |
| Chicago CTA portion (seller) | $1.50 / $500 |
| Attorney & title | varies |
Seller FAQ
Straight answers.
How do you decide the list price?
Closed comps, active competition and live buyer demand from our own network — not an algorithm. We show you three scenarios (aggressive, market, premium) with the expected days-on-market and net for each, and you choose.
Should I sell off-market or on the MLS?
It depends on the asset. A unique property or an income building often does better with a private preview to qualified buyers; a move-in-ready condo usually wants full exposure. We give you the trade-offs and a recommendation, and we can do both — preview privately, then launch publicly.
How long does it take to sell in Chicago?
Well-priced homes with the full Listing Standard typically go under contract in 1–3 weeks; contract to close is usually 30–45 days with financing, faster with cash. Timelines vary by neighborhood and price band — the strategy call covers yours.
Do I need to renovate or stage first?
Rarely. We review renovation return before you spend anything, and digital staging through our Stagifi studio handles vacant or dated rooms without movers or rental furniture.
What if I'm buying and selling at the same time?
We coordinate both sides: timing the launch, negotiating rent-backs or extended closings, and lining up financing so you are never carrying two homes longer than you have to.
Do you sell multi-unit buildings and businesses too?
Yes — residential, 2–4 units and mixed-use, and business brokerage are the three lanes of the team. Investors in our network underwrite from your rent roll, so income properties get investor-specific marketing.
